Slack Invite Page

A tiny web app to add open inviting to your Slack team, inspired by this and this.

Setting

Populate config.js with your information, or better yet, set ENV vars

• community: your community or team name to display on join page.

• slackUrl : your slack team url (ex: socketio.slack.com)

• slacktoken : access token of slack. You can generate it in https://api.slack.com/web#auth. Generate the token as admin user, not owner. If you generate the token in owner user, missing_scope error will occurr.

• inviteToken: an optional security measure - if it is set, then that token will be required to get invited. Intended to be provided in person, on a whiteboard, etc.

  You can test your token via curl:

   curl -X POST 'https://YOUR-SLACK-TEAM.slack.com/api/users.admin.invite' \
   --data 'email=EMAIL&token=TOKEN&set_active=true' \
   --compressed

Run

Node.js is unfortunately required.

$ git clone git@github.com:bayareadads/slack-join-page.git
$ cd slack-join-page
$ npm install
$ bin/www
